Politiscope, an app to track Congressional voting records and bills, launches on android devices

sudshr47 January 21, 2019

Last September, two former National Football League players launched an app called Politiscope to track the voting records of members of Congress and the bills that they were introducing — and provide non-partisan information about what those bills and votes would mean to voters. The pro-football-playing brothers, Walter Powell Jr. and Brandon Williams, launched the […]

Bugs Hacking Microsoft Office vulnerability

A bug left your Microsoft account wide open to complete takeover

Bug bounty hunter Sahad Nk recently uncovered a series of vulnerabilities that left Microsoft users’ accounts — from your Office documents to your Outlook emails — susceptible to hacking.

While working as a security researcher with cybersecurity site SafetyDetective, Nk discovered that he was able to take over the Microsoft subdomain, http://success.office.com, because it wasn’t properly configured. This allowed the bug hunter to set up an Azure web app that pointed to the domain’s CNAME record, which maps domain aliases and subdomains to the main domain. By doing this, Nk not only takes control of the subdomain, but also receives any and all data sent to it. Read more…

This Twitter thread will make anyone who’s ever sat in a work meeting cringe so hard

Whenever you spend a lot of time in a confined space with a group of people, it’s not uncommon for a new language to develop.

Slang. Shorthand. Odd sayings. It happens all the time. Normally it’s fine.

Not in offices, though.

In the workplace — particularly in meetings — this kind of thing happens far, far too much.

Comedian Adam Hess recently opened a can of worms when he made just such an observation.

Took 28 years to realise that no matter what the meeting is about, if you randomly chime in with ‘it’s just about finding that balance’ people will always agree.

Some people would look at a gaping hole in their office wall and see it as a problem.

Malboury Jones saw it as an opportunity.

On Monday, the Ireland-based graphic designer tweeted photos of a sign he’d put up next to a gaping hole in his office wall.

“We moved into new offices, but this wall has been left open for a few weeks now,” he wrote. “I knew what I had to do.”

The Kronos Lift standing desk brings a little class to getting off your chair

sudshr47 December 21, 2017

 I’ve been following the rise of standing desks for a few years now and still use one on a daily basis. The technology hasn’t changed much in the decade or so that they’ve become truly popular but the design and quality is always improving which is why I took a look at the Kronos Lift from BDI. This is a surprisingly elegant desk with very little visible machinery –… Read More
